This is a suggestion for devs and helpers at Gaijin (coz we can’t do it without you!), I am sure you are well aware of the ever growing popularity of the Big Action mod. The number of people playing it has grown substantially recently.
Backing your commercials goals:
The Big Action mod allows you to bring vehicles that would not normally be in your line up when high level, it also treats people with premiums differently in how their vehicles work (indirect proper fire, using map and range finder). Gold order vehicles will behave (transform) into a mobile rally or allow you build you own proper artillery piece. (It means people will buy skins for vehicles they wouldn’t normally use ie. Winter tiger skin, buy new gold vehicles and also customizations, decals, some may even buy premiums as they actually work in full scale maps with enhanced munitions etc
Event - there have been talks of showcasing a mod and Big Action is imho by far the best of the bunch on customs. This event might want to ensure only experienced players enter, so officer or above up to Marshal. The importance of engineers and building rallies really is emphasized in this mod. I don’t know if new players would get the game objectives? But it would be up to you to decide if you wanted to limit to players who have ranked to at least an officer rank
Rewards: These could be get 30 Tank kills (5 can spawn on your team, so this is achievable), 20 Plane kills (8 planes in the sky at once, so again available), Build 69 Rallies for Silver (any engineer can build 3 by default), or Custom Tickets, rewards, maybe new vehicle skins or profile pics for top performers like you do for your events on base Enlisted.
You might even want to try out capped XP and allow people to earn XP to grind units, soldiers, that. Would be ideal, but rewards may be sufficient in itself if good enough!
Duration: 1 week would be sufficient I think. The match itself could last as it does now, but the difference is your matchmaking rules would mean less PVE bot time, it would be straight into action!
Big Action not only supports your commercial goals, it uses existing gameplay as a rule, so isn’t too complicated, it makes things like binoculars, or tanks actually act like tanks, can flank, fire and penetrate armour from 800-1000m (so satisfying), it is the new Enlisted endgame, it is what keeps a lot of players still playing and having fun.
@1942786 @James_Grove Hello, please do consider this suggestion, take it to your brownbag and see, Big Action may save Enlisted, it would be nice to get acknowledgement at very least
@tommyZZM here’s hoping this brings more players and this becomes an alternative way of grinding for mid to end gamers and that you get more support from devs themselves
